I do a lot of single handing on my 37 and my main sheet is up on the coach roof. I trim it proper and don’t touch during tack (well maybe a little tweaking after) I have to get in front of the wheel for the genny sheets but its worth the effort during Covid. Full length Lazzarette locker means I could only gain a little mounting in front of Companion way, and still not be able to reach. Bigger problem for me is the back and forth dropping the main halyard which is also under dodger, especially while my Auto pilot is still not working properly (still cant get wheel off) Sure I look funny going around in circles out there , but worth every bit of effort these days to get out! Yearning to have just 1 crew back would be great!

The coachroof traveller is used for cruising and the one across the front of the cockpit seats is used for racing. His mainsheet purchase had two sets of bails and we would move the purchase at the dock. He still can't singlehand because he sits behind a wheel and can't reach the mainsheet. There should be a way to keep your traveler where it is, and rework the purchase so the dead end of the line leads back to the end of the boom to a block and then down to a swivel cleat on the cockpit floor in front of the wheel, where you could reach around and adjust the line while steering. You may need to get a longer mainsheet. FWIW, I moved my traveller fifteen years ago to have a nice setup in front of my wheel, I can send pictures if you like.

My 42 Custom has the same arrangement as the 34 (the boat is basically a big version of the 34 or 36, with the keel swept back slightly more). The main is a bit of a pain to trim when shorthanded, but on balance I like it where it is – out of the way.

I had a traveller right across the cockpit on our previous boat. It was great for adjusting the sails, but it was also great to hit my wife on the shins. The current boat has a traveller on the cabin top, and it was a “must have” requirement for this boat. It is almost the same discussion as the wheel vs. tiller.

When sailing wife the wife I find adjustments to the main difficult at times. Have tried playing with the traveler but the sheet tension is the problems.
